Introducing…
Launched: A guide to starting the business of your dreams! ✨

I am excited to offer this in person, 6 week course this summer! My intention is to offer what I’ve learned over the past 10+ years of being an entrepreneur with you to take out some of the confusion.

This will be a feminine led experience, with more intention on fun and ease! I’ll share what I’ve learned, ways to get stuff done easily and TONS of resources that I’ve used over the years.

Attend one or attend them all. Check out the link for more information!

My Trigger Point Continuing Education Weekend is NEXT WEEK! I am so excited to see how the class has filled in, and we are also taking 3 more students! Have you wanted to learn more about Trigger Point Therapy? I'd love to have you!

We will meet Friday & Saturday from 8am-5pm with a one hour lunch break from 12pm-1pm. I provide almost everything for you; tables, bolsters, sheets, learning materials, water, coffee, breakfast options, etc. I want you to come and enjoy the weekend and learn with ease. We will go through the entire body, (6 modules!) learning how to work and treat trigger points in every area. So not only are you learning how to give Trigger Point Massage, you also get to see how it feels and get your areas of concern worked on too!

The 6 Modules we cover include:
Module 1: Posterior Neck & Back
Module 2: Glutes & Posterior Legs
Module 3: Anterior Legs & Feet
Module 4: Head, Face & Anterior Neck
Module 5: Chest & Arms
Module 6: Abdomen & Psoas

With each module, I teach about where the trigger points are, what pain/ symptoms they cause, then show you how to work on those trigger points in that area. Then, you practice. Is this something you'd love to add to your practice? Join us next weekend, October 20th & 21st! Sign up below. :)

In September, I also revamped my entire Trigger Point Therapy 101 E-Course! It is filled with so much information, AND you gain 1 CE by watching the hour of videos. It will be a requirement to watch it if you sign up for the weekend, so it's a great way to start learning now! You can sign up for either the weekend or E-Course below!

I'd love to see you soon :)

Continuing Education for wellness providers to learn how to help those who struggle with chronic pain through Trigger Point Therapy.

Welcome to Encompass Academy, featuring my 7 yo's artwork 🤩

Over the past few years, I have built this business up starting with continuing education and expanding into a full massage school last year. It's been a ride, and when you throw in twins and COVID, it made for a crazy few years. It's no wonder I was burnt out this June.

After a summer of resting, taking care of me, realigning with my self care habits and eating better, I feel so much better. AND, it feels great to be taking a year off of school. Every other year seems like the perfect way to teach my passion and slow down in between.

In the off years, I will still be teaching continuing education on Trigger Point Therapy! If you've been wanting to learn more about it, I have a FREE Master Class coming up on September 25th at 9am via zoom to learn more about what Trigger Point Therapy is and how it may support your practice!

Sign up via the link in my bio, I would love to see you there.

From many hours of receiving Bodywork, to getting to know more therapists, to deep conversations, these weekends fill my soul. I can't wait for the one coming up in October!

October 20 & 21, 2023: Trigger Point Therapy, 16 CEUs

During the weekend, I will take you through 6 modules where I teach you how to release Trigger Points in each area of the body. By the end you have a great understanding of what Trigger Points are, where they are and how to treat them.

Of course, I cried as soon as I tried to speak 🥺🥺

This career is so darn fulfilling. Each day when I show up, I am so thankful to be able to help people in this way ❤️

Here are 5 reasons you also might love being a Massage Therapist! 💆‍♂️

1) You love helping people, but you don't want to be in the medical field at all. 🙋‍♀️

2) You want flexibility. With most jobs in massage, you have a lot of flexibility and can choose (at least parts) of your schedule.

3) You don't want to work full-time hours. Because massage is labor intensive, you will never work full-time hours. Get paid well, work less, win-win!

4) People LOVE coming to see you. How many jobs do you know of that people absolutely love coming to see you and thank you profusely when you're done? Not many! Massage is one of those, and it's so fun!

5) It's FUN! You could go any direction with learning and niching down to what you want to do. The human body is so fascinating, and there is endless learning in this field! 😍

BONUS: You get to serve your community in a big way. Helping people with their pain, tension, and stress makes a huge difference in their quality of life, which directly affects how they show up in this world. 🌎

Do any of those resonate with you?
Feel free to message me to start a conversation about a career in massage therapy! I am also hosting an information session about our Massage Program on May 17th at 4:30pm. If you're interested, this is a free event via zoom, come learn about the opportunities! Sign up at link below 👇

This semester here at the academy is all about clinic, self-care, clinic review and working with special populations. 🙌

Each weekend students work on either Friday or Saturday and have four clients each day to practice everything they've learned in the past many months ✨️It has been an awesome time and even though there are hard moments, already 4 weeks in, students have learned so so much.

On Thursday's, we get together and chat about how the previous clinic weekend went, what worked, what didn't and chat through any questions they may have had. During this class we have also been taking turns sharing our favorite self care techniques (hence the foot baths!)

In Special Populations, we are learning all about how to treat and what adaptations are needed for working with the elderly, pregnant women, people with cancer and those who have been through trauma and abuse. ❤️

Our last semester is flying by! It's so crazy to think that graduation is in a little more than a month.

If you're interested in massage school, I'd love to chat! Feel free to send over a dm, check out our website or go ahead and apply via the link in our bio! Excited to see where the next year takes us 😊😊
